Being a huge fan of `The Jamie Kennedy Experiment,' I eagerly awaited the release of `Malibu's Most Wanted,' a big-screen, feature-length version of one of Jamie's character skits. Often described as a `Candid Camera' meets `Saturday Night Live' type of show, Jamie dons make-up and disguises in effort to pull pranks on trusting people. I have always considered his white rapper character, Brad Gluckman, to be one of my favorites, and always felt he didn't portray Brad, or `B-Rad,' nearly enough as he should.
I was very pleased with how the movie turned out. It was a refreshing escape from the all-too-common war movies and horror-dramas of late. You can't help but feel for the confused white rapper who thinks his rhymes are 'the shiznit' and that he's just as 'down' as anyone else he may encounter on the other side of the tracks.
If I could give it stars, I'd give it five out of 5. On a scale from one to ten, with ten being best, I'd give it a 10. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up.
Go see "Malibu's Most Wanted" if you're in the mood for a light-hearted, authentic comedy.
And to all of those who haven't accepted "Malibu's Most Wanted" as an awesome movie... Don't be hatin'!

Like many others, I had very low expectations of this movie. I just think the premise of a white man acting black has been done to death. But for some reason, this movie worked for me. As you can expect, there are some lame moments and I absolutely hate that gibberish vocabulary that Snoop Dogg created (hizzle fashizzle and all that crap). Of course, some of that vocabulary pops up in certain parts of the movie. However, for the most part the gags work. I enjoyed Taye Diggs and Anthony Anderson as two white-collar (no pun intended) black actors, who have to learn to be "ghetto" in order to get into character. Anderson isn't totally convincing in the role, since some of his ghetto slang pops up even when he's not playing the part of a stereotypical black man from the hood, but he's still very funny. When is he not funny? That's right, the answer is never. Diggs, on the other hand, is much more convincing in his role. But the two actors have great chemistry, and they create a Laurel-and-Hardy-esque comedy team. Jamie Kennedy co-wrote the script, so I have to give him partial credit for the effectiveness of the material. Kennedy can be funny when he works up to his potential, as he has shown in his WB series "The Jamie Kennedy Experiment." He plays the role with a certain charm, and the movie itself is not mean-spirited, which is another reason why it works. Ryan O'Neal is entertaining as Jamie's father, and has some funny moments of his own. However, I don't understand why Bo Derek took the role of his wife, since she barely has anything to do. I didn't grow up in the seventies, so I'm not too familiar with her work, but I'm pretty sure she was big in her hayday and it's a shame that she took on such a thankless role.
If your expectations of this movie are low, don't let that prevent you from checking out "Malibu's Most Wanted." I always enjoy it when a movie supersedes my expectations, and this is one of those cases. I know this is a clichéd line, but this is not the type of film that deserves any awards. But it is a lot of fun. And thankfully, Snoop Dogg has only a 3-minute voice cameo as a talking rat, because I stand by my word when I say that he should be banned from movies altogether. I'm sure if Tom Cruise were to make an album, people would be ticked, yet Snoop Dogg is able to receive acclaim for his movie appearances without having acting talent. Snoop is the poster boy for the statement, "Don't quit your day job."
My score: 7 (out of 10)

I wasn't expecting anything off the wall when I went to view Malibu's Most Wanted last night with my wife. However, I was expecting a somewhat coherent movie, with SOME laughs in it. There were a mildly few scattered laughs in the movie, but so far and few, that this movie isn't worth recommending, even for laugh factor alone. You can tell this movie was shot together quickly to try and cash in on the comedy spurge that's been filling theaters as of late. This movie was NOT the Shiznit. It was my most wanted... dose for putting me to sleep. 1/2 * out of 4 *'s.

First off... this movie is NOT real, NOT true to life. This is NOT what it is like for a white rapper, it is NOT hard-core or an insight into an undiscovered culture. What it IS, however, is ridiculous. The actors look like they are doing their best to act and failing on a Biblical level. Every time Jamie Kennedy offered up a "For-rizzle," my friend had a stroke and/or heart attack. The direction was shoddy and the script (specifically the dialog) was terrible.
That's not to mention how downright racist this movie is. Yes, society is racist, but this movie is not attacking or pointing it out, it is simply laughing along with people at goofy white folks (perhaps saying "laughing" is giving the movie too much credit). Plus, it implies that black people are all gangsters. Send that message to your kids.
The movie had potential. It could have been an examination of the racial issues pervasive in our society. However, Kennedy and his crew made every effort to mainstream it, deciding instead to insult our collective intelligence and dumbing it down so that we wouldn't have to think about the problems we face.
I could accept a mainstream movie - if it was funny. This movie was not. When people are cringing instead of laughing, you know that you don't have a great film.

I thought this movie was very funny. The 2003 black/white culture conflict comedy mini-genre (BRINGIN' DOWN THE HOUSE, HEAD OF STATE, etc.) gets a big lift with MALIBU'S. Taye Diggs is hilarious as a Julliard-trained commercial actor hired to play a thuggish gangsta kidnapper. Jamie Kennedy and the rest of the cast are solid as well. I especially liked the little bald campaign advisor in Ryan O'Neal's camp. I've seen him in a bunch of stuff and he's always great.

This movie is not for everyone. The story is pretty weak and the humor is very age oriented. The movie was very humorous if you enjoy the white man who thinks he's a black man humor. The most amusing piece of the movie is the dialogue that is spoken by B-Rad (Jaime Kennedy). Jaime Kennedy does a very good job portraying B-Rad,the ghetto like white boy. It comes across as hilarious because everyone finds it amussing except him. IF you are looking for a good laugh, and you like that type of humor, I would recommend going to see this movie.

I couldn't sleep one night and found myself watching this on one of the sky movie channels and boy did it make me laugh. The central character b-rad was so over the top and yet it worked. there have been many films before about white boys trying to act like the stereotype black gang banger rapper but they have mostly flopped until now. Anthony Anderson delivers yet another funny performance. this guy is consistently funny in whatever film he appears in and i think he will go on to become a big star. regina hall as shondra is super sexy without ever having to confirm to the typical hip hop cuties we see in rap videos. kal pen also pops up in the film as a crazy arab American student. ryan oneil also features as b-rads father and i was shocked at how this normally serious dude takes to the comedy. watch this film.
